I have to enter login details everyone I open app . This is kind of annoying. ### 4/5 — ★자유게시판★ 생성 *2021-05-16* 제 개인적은 생각으로는 외국인 관광객들이 서로 정보를 공유할 수 있는 ★자유게시판★이 있으면 훨씬훨씬훨씬 유용할 것 같아요. 그 게시판에 한국에 방문했던 여행객들의 여행 정보가 쌓이면 더 많은 관광객들이 이 어플을 유용하게 사용할 것 같아요! 그리고 한 발 더 나아가서 “동행 구하는 게시판” 이 있으면 좋을 것 같아요. 자유여행객들은 동행을 구하는 일이 잦은데, 외국인과 소통하고 싶은 한국인이 동행을 구하는 외국인과 함께 여행을 한다던지, 여행객들 끼리 동행을 구한다던지 하면 훨씬 기억에 남는 한국 여행이 될 것 같아요! (언어권 별로 영어게시판/중국어 게시판/일본어게시판 이런식으로 있어도 좋을 것 같네요) **Developer response:** VisitKorea : Official Guide에 애정을 갖고 소중한 피드백 남겨주셔서 감사합니다. 의견은 추후 서비스 개선에 참고할 수 있도록 하겠습니다. 감사합니다. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2019-05-18* I think the app is absolutely amazing & I love how it stays up to date BUT recently it started showing an error when I try to click on majority of the options & it tells me to check my connection (which is absolutely fine) so if that got fixed I’d be extremely happy with the app & I definitely recommend it otherwise! **Developer response:** Thank you for using the VisitKorea app. The app has been released with version 5.0. With this version you will have improved designs and services. ### 3/5 — Nice *2017-11-12, version 4.2.01* Good app, but slow for some reason. Can’t wait to go to SK! ### 4/5 — Useful and helpful app *2014-12-04* App looks appealing aesthetically, but usability is a little bit lacking. For example, I like that there's a map function with pinpoints of things to do, eat, see, and sleep near you but the map itself loads just a tiny bit slow and all the pinpoints get in the way when you just want to look at the map to find your way around (e.g. how many streets do I have to walk until I get to Lotteria?). For the attractions section, I felt overloaded with the listings of so many places to visit; it reminded me of the Yellow Pages (a big book listing all the businesses in a city) which I guess is good and bad in a way. For the accommodation section, it would be great if the rates were also listed as well as a filter to sort hotels/motels/etc by star rating and price (from low to high and high to low). Overall, I can see the app developers really put thought and effort into making this app helpful and useful to users because the app sections are thoughtfully planned and laid out with so much categories to choose from and information to read, so kudos to that. ### 3/5 — Auto switch off when on, please fix. *2014-11-04, version 4.0.3* Good apps however after the recent updates, there is no way to run the app. It auto switch off after 3 seconds. Happen both with iPhone 4s and iPad 4th Gen. Before update it was fine. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Crashing bug not fixed *2014-10-25, version 4.0.3* This app used to be great, but is still useless as it crashes on start, as many other reviewers pointed out with the previous version. Please, please get this fixed. ### 1/5 — Rubbish!! *2014-10-19, version 4.0.1* Cannot load anything, wasted 5 mins of my life ### 1/5 — App crashes every time it's opened *2014-10-18* Every time I try to open the app, a notice pops up about 2 seconds after the app is opened telling me to turn on my location services, but right then it freezes. After about 3 more seconds, the whole app crashes. This happens every time. I used to LOVE looking at and exploring the app because I'm excited to go to Korea, but for a couple months now, I haven't been able to because you STILL haven't fixed the app's crashing problem. Please fix this so we can enjoy it again. ### 1/5 — App doesn't work *2014-10-17, version 4.0.1* App doesn't work in iOS 8 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — macOS 에서 안됨 *2023-03-10* 얼마전에는 됐었는데 업데잇 후에 macOS 에서 앱 실행할때 jailbreak 한 기기여서 못쓴다는 메세지가 뜨네요 ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2020-06-11, version 5.0.9* Every time you click on a post, it doesn’t loud and the app just shuts down! Disappointed since I believe this could’ve been a great resource. ### 1/5 — Network error *2018-08-06, version 4.2.10* While using the house WiFi or the data, I cannot do anything. It is writing that I have a WiFi connection problem. ### 1/5 — Error msg: Server not connected *2017-12-03, version 4.2.02* Was not able to use it when using home WiFi. And had Error showing Server not connected to the network. Totally disappointed. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing. *2015-10-07, version 4.1.2* This app keeps crashing on iOS 9.0. Please fix it. ### 1/5 — Crashes on launch *2015-09-07, version 4.1.2* Seems to have developed a bug in past week or so. It appears its trying to fetch something and fails and crashes. ### 1/5 — Visit Korea 4.1.0 *2015-05-11, version 4.1.0* The app constantly crashes under iOS 8.3. The app is useless until this is fixed! When the app did work, it was very good. I would not leave home without it! ### 1/5 — Crashes! *2015-01-09, version 4.0.14* This app crashes immediately after opening. ### 1/5 — crash *2015-01-03, version 4.0.14* i can't use it... it crashes after a few seconds.. ### 1/5 — Upgrade fail *2014-12-10, version 4.0.10* Just upgraded this app & it crashes after opening. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 이렇게 잘만든 앱인데 *2023-06-16* 잘 알려지지 않은 것 같아 많이 아쉽습니다 ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2022-05-03, version 5.3.4* It is fantastic for travelling in South Korea.
